ABSTRACT
One of nine competency-based training modules for
personnel preparation in early childhood special education,
this
guide focuses on planning preschool
programs. All modules are
adaptable for use with a general audience, direct service
personnel,
or administrators and are based on the following principles:
developmentally appropriate practice; integration of children
with
disabilities with typically developing
peers; collaborative
relationships with families; attention to individual
needs; and
provision for and valuing of diversity
among young children and their
families. Modules are intended to be used in whole
or in part, in
groups or for self-instruction. Each module comprises: goals;
competencies (knowledge, skill, and values and attitudes);
and
objectives, with a matrix for each objective identifying
enabling
activities, resources, and leader notes. Relevant
handouts, forms,
and readings are provided for each objective. This
module is designed
to assist in the writing of a preschool
program philosophy, the
selection of developmentally and exceptionality-appropriate
curriculum, and the establishment of
a preschool environment
appropriate for both typically developing children
and those with
disabilities. The module also
covers data collection, re::ordkeeping,
program evaluation, and the role of planning in establishing
interpersonal interactions that support the
development of young
children. (Contains approximately 40 references.)

Dear Educators:
There is, perhaps, no more important issue to address in the field of early childhood
education than the professional development of those individuals who work in this field.
The results of numerous studies that have been conducted to assess the quality of
families suggest
programs currently available to our nation's young children and their
that the training and quality of staff are critical determinants to quality pfogramming.
In the area of early childhood special education, professional training needs are also
recognized as paramount. The number of preschool programs for children with
disabilities has grown rapidly in Ohio, thus creating a dramatic increase in the number
of trained professionals needed to meet the resulting human resource demands. The
training needs of this cadre of teachers, as well as other service personnel who face this
challenge, is the focus of Project Prepare.
This series of nine competency-based training modules is the result of a cornmitment on
the part of many individuals in the State of Ohio to quality services for young children.
Their dedicated efforts are to be commended. Project Prepare reflects widely accepted
principles of sound early childhood theory and practice; reflecting what we know about
the development of all young children, and what we know about the development of
in your
young children who have special needs. We hope that these materials assist you
efforts to provide quality early childhood education programs for all of Ohio's young
children.
Sincerely,
Bandy-Hedden

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The modules in this set were developed as a result of a commitment on the part of
many professionals in the
State of Ohio; a commitment to quality services for young children with special needs as well
as those who are
typically developing. A need was established for compentency-based early childhood personnel training that
reflects a commitment to: (1) the integration of children with disabilities and those who
are typically developing;
(2) developmentally appropriate practice; (3) providing services that value and
are sensitive to all diversity in a
multicultural, pluralistic society; and (4) effective collaboration between parents and professionals.
The immediate need for a large cadre of well-prepared personnel sensitive to the needs of
young children with
disabilities was recognized by leadership in the Ohio Department of Education. With the establishment of the
Division of Early Childhood Education, a forceful position was taken on behalf of all
young children. Funding
was then made available to the Cuyahoga Special Education Service Center for research and development in
personnel preparation.
We gratefully acknowledge Dr. Irene Bandy-Hedden, Assistant Superintendent of the Ohio Department
of
Education and Dr. Jane Wiechel, Director of the Division of Early Childhood Education for the role they
each
played in creating the atmosphere and the arena in which Project Prepare
was conceived and implemented. The
contribution of Dr. Karen Sanders has been invaluable. Her support, guidance, and attention
to detail has
strengthened us and enabled us to ensure quality and consistency to the final products of Project Prepare.
We wish to thank the members of the Steering Committee and the Consistency Task Force. Their
feedback and
endless hours of review supplied input to the process of refining the modules. The professionals
on the Reaction
Panel contributed insightful feedback during the early stages of module development that enhanced
the content
and format of the modules. The technical staff, whose dependable assistance
was a critical component of our
working team provided the day-to-day nitty gritty backup assistance
necessary to a quality finished product. Most
of all, we would like to thank each member of the Module Development Teams who conceived,
delivered.
nurtured, and raised the "child" whose name is Project Prepare. We offer this fully functioning child
up for
adoption to the Special Education Regional Resource Service Centers, without whose membership
and
continued abiding interest in total quality staff development, Project Prepare would
not have been possible.
To all those who provided wisdom in this endeavor, gave an extra hand when it
was needed, shared in our
frustrations, and laughed with us in our moments of joy, we extend
our deepest thanks and gratitude.
